 <br/>'''FM28/CR232 playas'''
 <br/>'''CR283 between Hwy62 and CR200'''
-The large playa at the intersection of Hwy62 and FM28 marks the start of these playas. A scope will be helpful for many of these playas. To access CR293 Cow playa, follow FM28 south through Dougherty. When it veers east, continue south on CR293. Turn east on CR284 and then south again on CR293 until you reach the playa. Even in dry years, there is often some water for the cows closer in. This spot may hold shorebirds. CR319 playa is accessed by driving north on CR319 from Hwy62. This spot may be good for Chihuahuan Raven along with the usual ducks and shorebirds. To access the FM28 playas, travel north on FM28. Check the multiple playas north of CR232, as well as the residence (possible Cattle Egrets, Common Grackles). The playa just east on CR220 looks promising and often holds water, but you will probably want a scope to view it from the road.

 <br/>'''CR290 playa'''
 <br/>'''Hwy62 and CR271'''
-Most of these playas are along US62 and are worth checking for the usual shorebirds, ducks and grassland birds in the appropriate seasons. Pull off along the side of the road to bird these. The first playa mentioned is just before CR231/FM602. There is a farm just east of this playa, which may hold Brewer’s Blackbird in the winter and other farm-associated birds. CR290 playa may be worth checking for Burrowing Owls. To access it, travel south from US62 along FM602. Turn west on CR290. In wet years, there will be a playa on the north side of the road. In most years, the playa will be a barren patch of land and/or hold some greenery, possibly with Red-winged Blackbirds. For Burrowing Owls look to the south side of the county road. The second playa mentioned is just after CR241 and has held Cinnamon Teal in migration along with other ducks. The third playa is just before CR271, and is less reliable than the other two playas.

+==== FLOYDADA ====
 Like many towns on the South Plains, Floydada concentrates a relatively large number of trees and it is often worth birding the alleys and streets in search of passerines. The southern part of Floydada, especially JB Ave and Main St seem to generally hold some of the best birds. Red-shouldered Hawk, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Cedar Waxwing and Common Grackle have all been found in this area. Look skywards for Chimney Swifts.
